Far and Away

AFK mining operations are a great way to spend idle time without having to resort to EULA violating macros. We are currently using AFK ice mining to fill in the gaps during our work day. As a matter of fact as I write this I have two Hulks working an ice belt. I know what you experienced miners are thinking, why not the Mackinaw? If I were running a mining op with haulers the Machinaw would be the ship of choice but since I'm AFK I want the extra cargo space of the Hulk to make each trip more profitable. Ice takes a long time to mine which makes it ideal for AFK ops. I can get a full 20 mins. of work done while the Hulks are filling up but bear in mind as the market stands now you will make much more with tritanium. If you would like to know more please contact us anytime, we are always ready to help.

hi, i'm new on Eve and I'm studying to will be a trader ...

I'm mining on AFK with a Iteron III and one miner II on 0.9 and 1.0 systems only.

How do you think can I improve this operations?

Thanks and sorry for my English.

We are more current on Caldari Tech. but it looks like the only improvement you could make would be to put in a mining upgrade II in the low slot but for akf mining you will want the extra cargo space that expanders provide in the low power slot. Get a ship that can carry mining drones and that will help greatly. Goodluck and hope this helps. Also try battleclinic.com for ship loadouts.
